and his offering
The Hebrew word for "offering" is "קָרְבָּן" (korban), which signifies something brought near or presented. In the context of the Israelites, offerings were a means of drawing near to God, symbolizing devotion and obedience. This act of giving reflects a heart willing to honor God with material possessions, acknowledging His sovereignty and provision.

one silver dish
The "silver dish" (Hebrew: "קְעָרָה" - qe'arah) was a large, shallow bowl used in sacred rituals. Silver, a precious metal, signifies purity and redemption. The use of silver in offerings underscores the value and sincerity of the worshiper's devotion. Historically, silver was a common medium of exchange, indicating the offering's substantial worth.

weighing a hundred and thirty shekels
The "shekel" (Hebrew: "שֶׁקֶל" - shekel) was a standard unit of weight and currency in ancient Israel. The specific weight of "a hundred and thirty shekels" highlights the significant and generous nature of the offering. It reflects the principle of giving God the best and most valuable portion, a recurring theme in the sacrificial system.

one silver bowl
The "bowl" (Hebrew: "מִזְרָק" - mizraq) was another vessel used in temple service. Its mention alongside the dish emphasizes the completeness and abundance of the offering. The bowl's purpose was likely for pouring out libations, symbolizing the outpouring of the worshiper's heart in service to God.

weighing seventy shekels
The specific weight of "seventy shekels" for the bowl further illustrates the careful and intentional nature of the offering. Numbers often carry symbolic meaning in Scripture, with seventy sometimes representing completeness or perfection, suggesting the offering's sufficiency and wholesomeness.

according to the sanctuary shekel
The "sanctuary shekel" was a standard of measurement used in the tabernacle, ensuring uniformity and fairness in offerings. This standardization reflects God's desire for order and justice in worship practices. It also underscores the sacredness of the offering, as it adheres to divine specifications.

both of them full of fine flour
"Fine flour" (Hebrew: "סֹלֶת" - solet) was a high-quality, finely ground wheat product used in grain offerings. It symbolizes the best of human labor and effort, offered to God in gratitude and acknowledgment of His provision. The use of fine flour indicates the offering's purity and excellence.

mixed with oil
Oil (Hebrew: "שֶׁמֶן" - shemen) was a valuable commodity in ancient Israel, often symbolizing the Holy Spirit, anointing, and consecration. Mixing oil with flour in the offering signifies the blending of human effort with divine empowerment, a partnership in worship and service to God.

for a grain offering
The "grain offering" (Hebrew: "מִנְחָה" - minchah) was a voluntary act of worship, expressing thanksgiving and dedication to God. It was a non-blood offering, highlighting the worshiper's desire to honor God with the fruits of their labor. This offering type emphasizes the importance of gratitude and acknowledgment of God's provision in daily life.

Verse 23. - This was the offering of Nethaneel the son of Zuar. His offering, and that of all the rest, is described in exactly the same words and phrases, with the single minute exception, that in verse 19 we have, "he offered for his offering," instead of "his offering was." Even the small peculiarity of omitting the word shekels from the statement of the weight of the silver chargers and the golden spoons appears throughout (cf. Genesis 20:16). No doubt the record was copied or enlarged from some document written at the time, and its studied sameness reflects the careful and equal solemnity with which the offerings of the several princes were received.
